Grant Meinhardt

Secured maximum funding from UROP for the development of a discriminating scintillator particle detector as a cubesat payload.

• Applied FEA, thermal simulations, and material selection to optimize designs
• Created CAD, CAM, and manufacturing drawings using Solidworks
• Utilized LTspice, Altium and Fusion electronics to design and simulate the custom PCBs used for the payload

Lead a team of a few students on designing a custom payload that discriminates particle energies from the sun in earths polar regions. This was part of the AERIS Cubsat mission which I am still a lead member of its development.

• Was an AV technician/operator for the East West Center at UH Manoa while a full time student
• Learned how to collaborate with a team to solve technical challenges to support evolving customer needs

• Added a 3D printing service to our company which allowed me to interact with filament and resin 3D printing in various materials
• Created logos, flyers, banners, signs, prints, brochures, business cards, and stickers for a wide range of clients
• Oversaw larger branding projects for delivery of designs to meet the clients budget and goals

• Food service taught me what hard work actually felt like
• The high paced environment taught me how to stay clear headed under pressure and multitask without mistakes
